Tom Adams has tossed his name into the November elections hat as a write-in candidate for the Appomattox School Board in the Wreck Island District.

Jason L. Wells is the incumbent Wreck Island District representative.

Adams is the co-founder and Chairman of the Appomattox Community & Disaster Relief Organization. He was formerly President of the Appomattox Historical Society.

Adams hadn’t originally planned to run for the seat but became motivated by a recent lawsuit against certain parties within the Appomattox County School District, as well as a concern over the future of public school systems in general.
